If walking and getting out in the countryside more is one of your new year's resolutions, then help is at hand to help you plan where to go. Based on the results of the largest survey ever conducted into the UK’s hiking habits, ITV has put together the top 100 routes in the UK as voted for by more than 8,000 walking enthusiasts.
And the good news is that 10 popular hikes in Wales have been included — one even made it to second in the poll. The nine-mile walk to the top of Yr Wyddfa was beaten only by the Helvellyn walk, the Lake District’s third highest peak. There are seven official routes to get to the top of Wales' highest peak, but it was the Llanberis Path that came second in the poll.
The more difficult Tryfan walk also made it into the top ten at number six, and the walk up Pen y Fan was just outside at number 11 in the poll that was presented by Julia Bradbury and Ore Oduba. Julia says: "Walking is one of Britain’s best loved pastimes. Every month, up to nine million folk pull on their boots and head to the great outdoors.”
